See solar this weekend

Solar power is something that’s new to most people here in San Antonio.

If harnessing the sun’s power is on your mind, but you’re apprehensive about putting giant panels on your roof, this weekend you can tour the city and see how some San Antonio residents and businesses have incorporated solar power.

Solar San Antonio sponsors the event, which runs from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday. It’s a self-guided tour, so you can download the map and see as much or as little as you’d like. And it’s free!

The tour coincides with the National Solar Tour, which highlights more than 5,000 solar buildings across the country.
